Podcasting Day: Bloodsport 2 (The Second One About Bloodsport) with Vanessa Guerrero and Zak Koonce š
Added 2022-09-28 12:00:08 +0000 UTC
Itās finally here, the day youāve all been waiting for: Itās the Bloodsport podcast! Again! Bloodsport expert Zak Koonce and Bloodsport professor Vanessa Guerrero joined us, Bloodsport scientist Seanbaby and Bloodsport sommelier Brockway, to talk about Bloodsport for the second time. Why did you assume there would only be one Bloodsport podcast? That would be insane. Brace up for a 3rd-through-50th, weāll Bloodsport ātil the world dies.
Side note: Everyone knows the Bloodsport poster rules ā itās all kick and nothing else, because nothing else was needed. But just for fun Iāll show you my other favorite Van Damme movie posters in this writeup.
You might remember the first time we bloodcasted our podsport with Maggie Mae Fish - it was wonderful, perfect. She had never seen the film, and got to experience it for the first time with us as her kumite sherpas. It was an impossible-to-beat achievement in entertainment, much like Bloodsport, but much like Bloodsport II, The Quest, WMAC Masters, Arena, Undisputed, the Mortal Kombat franchise, UFC 1, every third movie starring Jean Claude Van Damme, and every single movie starring Don āThe Dragonā Wilson ā that didnāt stop us trying.
For the first Bloodsport podcast we introduced a smart young woman to the best Van Damme movie that doesnāt feature time travel or a sassy lost twin, then got her fresh take on a wonderfully dumb old movie aimed at men.
This time weāre going with experience ā Bloodsport blackbelts only, discussing the ways that Bloodsport shaped the people, and unstoppable fighting machines, that weād become.
Thereās no further agenda for bringing Bloodsport up again! This is a safe and easy podcast. Stop checking for conceptual traps, weird twists, and sudden dives into other genres. Itās just Bloodsport, buddy. Kicks and stuff!
Relax.

I saw BD in an art theater with the creators of the movie that did a Q&A after. They were very cool.

2022-10-04 11:21:18 +0000 UTCMy vote for best Bloodsport knockoff is Mortal Kombat. Like, all of it. Because those dudes said āyou know what Bloodsport needs? Nothing. But you know what would be rad? A ninja made of ghosts and fire.ā And goddammit, they were right.

2022-09-29 22:45:59 +0000 UTCI thought WMAC Masters was a fever dream I had as a child, I only ever remembered the concept but never the name, Thank you DOGGZZONE for bringing it back into my life!

2022-09-29 21:03:34 +0000 UTCI saw The Quest in theater with my friends and we spent the whole movie turning to each other and saying, "This is just Bloodsport!"

2022-09-29 19:03:19 +0000 UTCAs soon as you brought up Bloodsport knock-offs all I could think about was Van Damme's own The Quest, a 1996 film he starred in, co-wrote, & directed that is very much a Bloodsport-esque tournament movie. It even has the sassy female reporter!

2022-09-29 12:19:38 +0000 UTCSay what you will about karate men, the sheer volume of stolen valor they get away with is impressive. When you ignore the obviousness of the lies it becomes clear Frank Dux got away with building a multi-decade spanning career out of pretending to be a war hero. All the while more or less calling the Marines morons who can't function without his expert guidance.

2022-09-29 04:38:38 +0000 UTCI can't find the tweet anymore but Seanbaby once made a mockup of his netflix account where EVERY movie in the queue was Bloodsport so this episode does not surprise me.

2022-09-28 17:54:36 +0000 UTCLook, I donāt want to be that guy. But if one were to google, say, āNaked Kombatā or āUltimate Surrenderā with the appropriate safe search settingsā¦
Josh
2022-09-28 16:47:35 +0000 UTCSome factors to consider: Is Laura Linney also playing a sassy reporter? Is JCVD considered an ape for the purposes of this scenario? Can Laura do a split and fire the laser at the same time? Does JCVD split into two Van Dammes when hit with a potentially fatal attack like an ooze-type enemy?
Skebotron
2022-09-28 16:41:32 +0000 UTCSomeone had to ask. Van Damme vs Laura Linney with a laser?
